Language Reference

This book describes Version 8.1 of the XL Fortran compiler.
Fortran (FORmula TRANslation) is a high-level programming language primarily
designed for applications involving numeric computations. It is
suitable for most scientific, engineering, and mathematical
applications.

XL Fortran is an implementation of the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) standard for Fortran 95, equivalent to the American
National Standards Institute (ANSI) standard for Fortran 95. XL Fortran
also implements other selected industry standards. See Standards Documents.

The User's Guide discusses how to
compile, link, and run programs written for XL Fortran. See Related Documentation for other information.
